Chus Nassarre, EEC Alumni of the Month | November 2024

Passionate, approachable, and persevering, Chus Nassarre combines her banking experience with her vocation for personal development through coaching. Inspired by her family and her inexhaustible curiosity, she defines herself as a constant learner and someone committed to both personal and collective well-being.

Chus, for those who don't know you, could you introduce yourself?

In love with life, I have been combining the banking world with coaching for a few years.

My passion is people, especially my family and friends. My four children are my best mentors because they've made it possible for me to keep fighting for my dreams.

The development of people, the infinite capacities of human potential, and trusting in the process of transformation are what drive me to keep learning every day with the same curiosity as a child. There isn’t a single day that I don’t read something that doesn’t surprise me. learning each day.

There isn't one day that I don't read something that surprises me.

What is your passion?

To collaborate on initiatives related to people development. It’s where I feel that “click” between what I think and what I do.

Describe yourself in one sentence:

“I learned that you can’t go back, that the essence of life is to move forward.” — Agatha Christie.

What news would you like to hear?

That a cure has been found for any type of illness.

What has been your greatest achievement?

Not accepting “it’s not possible” as an answer.

What is your biggest challenge?

To keep fighting for what makes me feel good.

Where do you see yourself in three years?

Where I visualised myself in my first Mandala: working in people development and surrounded by what makes me feel good, having learned to let go of what keeps me from moving forward.

I got excited for the last time...

Just recently, seeing images of the natural disaster in Valencia.

You can't stifle a scream when...

I get scared.

My friends say of me...

That nothing can stop me.

What I do best is...

Trying to live each day as if it were my last.

I would like to...

Be able to hug those who are no longer near.

I never thought that...

Listening would move me so much, and that I would enjoy silence so deeply.

How do I recharge the batteries?

Surrounded by family and friends in places where I rarely wear a watch.

What do I need to be happy?

Less and less.

I wish that...

I can keep fighting for my dreams.

Through coaching I learned...

To make mistakes and to learn from them. I learned to view mistakes as a great lesson.

For me, coaching is...

What makes me feel happiness; that moment when I fully recognize myself in who I am.

In which groups would I like to apply coaching?

In any group needing support to become the protagonist of their own story, where freedom becomes the driving force of their will.

What training/research/experiences complement my coaching studies?

I studied business over 30 years ago and have worked in banking for 25 years. During the pandemic, I realized I needed to find a different path in life, so I began studying organizational well-being, eventually becoming certified as a Chief Happiness Officer. That was my first step toward finding my own well-being through coaching. Only by achieving your own well-being can you bring it to an organization.

What could you bring to the EEC Alumni community?

My commitment to pursue happiness—not as an abstract ideal, but as a measurable well-being that allows me to be at my best to give my best version of myself. Also, my personal experience in trusting the process and witnessing the power of transformation.

What activity do I value most in EEC Alumni?

Coaching Supervision helped me to reaffirm my commitment to be a coach. It opened the door and accompanied me to reach that dream and desire that I was building.

What training have I received at the EEC?

I began in 2022 with the introductory Cycle I coaching program, then continued with the Executive Coaching Certification. I went on with the Coaching Supervision module and paired it with the experience of delving into emotions through the Expert Coach in Emotional Management training. Recently, I began the specialization in adolescents and families.

What question have I missed that you would like to ask and answer?

To answer: What must happen for me to achieve my goal? To ask: What does your intuition tell you about that goal?
